Which states will Donald Trump visit in 2026?Oklahoma

This week President Trump is ramping up Midterm campaigning, with rallies in Oklahoma, Alabama and Ohio this week. I spoke with a Republican operative close to the White House to get more details about the thinking behind POTUS’s travel schedule in the weeks leading up to the midterms. • • The operative already told me the site selections for these rallies were “done strategically.” These are red states, but the operative says the president isn’t visiting because republicans are worried that states like OK or AL are “in play,” but rather to try to boost Republican turnout and energize voters there.

Live: President Trump is planning to rally on Saturday in Ohio, where Senator Jon Husted is facing a stiff a challenge from former Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, in a state critical to each party’s hopes of controlling the Senate. Trump’s visit to Vandalia, in western Ohio, interrupts his tour of solidly Republican state and congressional districts where he can count on a warm welcome. He is scheduled to visit Oklahoma on Thursday and Alabama on Friday, Republicans said.

Notable that Johnson is going to 22 states, but not the two red states (Oklahoma and Alabama) that the President is using his campaign capital in visiting this week.

Less than 40 days before Election Day, Donald Trump is planning to campaign in Oklahoma and Alabama.

Trump will hit several deep-red states in October campaign blitz PresidentDonald Trumpis hitting the campaign trail — and a series of his stops are in deep-red states he comfortably won in 2024. Trumpwill campaign in Iowa, Florida, Texas and Alaska ahead of Election Day, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, who were granted anonymity to discuss not-yet-public plans. That’s on top of his scheduled stop in Oklahoma next week,as the RNC announced, and his visit to Alabama, whichPOLITICO first reported. While the president has indicated a desire to stump forKen Paxtonin Texas andDan Sullivanin Alaska, the addition of Iowa and Florida to his campaign schedule signals an expanded focus on red states as Republicans grow increasingly nervous heading into the final stretch of the midterms. The president is also preparing to hold campaign rallies in more traditional battleground states starting Oct. 3, according to one of the people. His travel schedule is a clear signal that the GOP is seeking to shore up their own territory — as rising voter anger over sky-high costs andmass deportationscreates new openings for Democrats. The six confirmed states have highly watched Senate, House and gubernatorial contests this November, but they are also onesTrumpwon by double digits two years ago. “While Democrats squabble over the last two cents their party has to spare, the president is barnstorming the country, energizing our base, and supercharging Republican candidates in key races and beyond,” saidNatalie Baldassarre, an RNC spokesperson. “We have the resources to spend, and Republicans are full steam ahead to protect and expand our majorities,”Baldassarreadded. The White House referred POLITICO to the RNC. Vice PresidentJD Vancewill also ramp up his campaign travel ahead of Election Day. He andTrumpare expected to make stops in Ohio to boost GOP Sen.Jon Husted,as POLITICO has reported.Hustedis trailing former Democratic Sen.Sherrod Brownin internal GOP polling by top Senate Republicans, according to two other people with direct knowledge of the matter, granted anonymity to share private details. Trump’slatest midterms travel swing will first start with Oklahoma and Alabama — two deep-red states where Democrats haven’t made the same inroads in statewide elections as they have in other traditionally conservative states like Texas, Alaska and Kansas. But his Alabama event could help drive turnout and shore up support for GOP state Rep.Rhett Marques, who is in a competitive race with Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures in the state’s 2nd District, despite Republicans’ effortto redraw the seat in their favor. Republicans in Iowa, Texas and Alaska are growing increasingly alarmed about how close their Senate races are amid fallout from the Iran war and other policy moves byTrump. Florida Republicans have becomeuneasy about their own firewall, with some polling showing statewide races inside the margin of error. Rep.Ashley Hinson, the GOP Senate nominee in Iowa, recentlypublicly broke withTrumpover the Iran war, as did several other Iowa House Republicans. “The bigger question on everything continues to be, whatever you do, will there be enough time. I just don’t know,” said one person close to the White House. “We’re teetering on the edge of it doesn’t matter anymore.” Alec Hernández contributed to this report.
